Join the NetSlaves! 14

Careful-sometimes the stories-like the current one about "K" who goes from support drone to production, only to meet his doom at the hands of his PHB-ring /way/ too close to real life. My comps to Bill Lessard and Steve Baldwin.

"A classic case of a writer falling in love with their own words."
I'd probably have more faith in your talents as a literary critic if I were more confident that you were capable of composing a coherent sentence yourself. So next time try this:
"A classic case of a writer falling in love with his (or her) own words".
